Hi Summer, good to hear from you though I am so sorry to hear about your hubby, dementia is a terrible thing for everyone to deal with.
I was wondering whether having a GP health plan might help with the costs of the massage? I know it was a bit of a help for me - though you only get 5 sessions and there was still a gap. I'm hoping my private health cover will at least help me towards the cost of some of the other sessions I'll no doubt need this year but having used up a bit to help with my new compression garments, I'm not sure how much more I'll have left for the massages.
I also get quite congested down my back / side and although it's not the same as having a good massage in that area, I do use a long-handled massage brush (bristles one side / nobbly bits the other) to help move the fluid as it is difficult to reach around otherwise. Maybe that might help a bit?
Best wishes to you and let's keep our collective fingers crossed that there might be some other solutions on the (near) horizon xx
